NEW BLOG ADDRESS

2011-06-01T21:49:00.003+02:00

I decided to change my blog LABELLEFLEURIE into SCRAMBLED FASHION. It was time to change the layout, design and appearcance 'cause I was totally fed up with this girly peach and the blog's complexity. I tried to give SCRAMBLED FASHION a very clear and well-arranged design. So I hope you'll like it.
Please comment and of course follow SCRAMBLED FASHION.

It's an unwritten law that red lipstick never seems to go out of style. And red is still hot for spring, according to the fashion magazines. But the following lipsticks are really something off the beaten track. As the saying goes, you need to attract if you want to affect!!

"Coquette" "New Yolk" "Mint to be"

"Pop Romance - your lips uncensored" is Lime Crime's motto for this spring's lipstick collection. But the set does not only look fancy, they provide the collection with high-quality implementation as well. Starting with three bold lipsticks in March, the extended their range of products in the meantime.
How to wear Pop Romance lipsticks (some Lime Crime tips):
*) Apply straight from the tube for the most intense, vibrant results.
*) Dab on with a fingertip or lip brush for just a touch of color (finish with gloss).
*) Layer No She Didn't (blue) over other lipsticks to cool them down & watch them transform
into entirely new shades!

To be honest: I really love all the colours, but I am not gutsy enough to wear them on street. Are you? Therefore I would prefer Lime Crime's Coquette, which is not as extravagant as New Yolk or Mint to be but still an eye-catcher. So, did I arouse your curiosity? Then click [here].

This is ... me!

For all those, who want to know a bit more about me, my interest and my style: This is me!

Although pictures are worth a thousand words, I try to describe myself best with my surroundings, fashion and the music I listen to. And although I am at a loss for words, I wanna give you an impression of what, how and who I am:

Born in the jungle of suburbia of Mayence, I moved a lot until I finally found my final destination: Cologne. Then, one year ago, my life turned into a exciting adventure full of new impressions which will influence my further entity. My sandwich course (political journalism meets economics) at university demands a great deal of me but the game is worth the candle.

WHO AM I?
I am a 20-year-old trying to find her sense of life and climbing the social ladder by breaking new ground. Accredited to a unique journalistic education, blogging means a lot to me as it is a means to prove myself doing the things I love: writing and fashion.

HOW AM I?
The best description I could probably give: I am off my trolley, addicted to shopping, a britpop-lover, sometimes a bit goofy but also determined what concerns my professional career, ambitious and I know exactly what I want (and my boyfriend often has to feel the effects out of it!)

WHAT AM I?
"To be or not to be" - is this really the only way to characterize oneself??

Because then, I probably would be a "in-between" of almost everything. An ascending fashionista than a fashion freak, commited than a whole geek, and with several interests than just a favored issue. And though I am not perfect, I am perfect enough to be a person off the beaten track.

Bottoms up

Maybe this design isn't everybody's cup of tea but it's definitely a looker: I espied this creative way of re-utilizing vodka bottles at Lilly Panic's blog [click]. And this craze needs to be posted.

Un soplo de frescura de "Aire Molino"

2011-05-28T20:07:00.006+02:00

Thanks to Britta, I discovered a new Argentine fashion label called "Aire Molino". It's founded by my friend's exchange student Magali Nuñez and the photographer Andrea Alegre, both are living in Mar del Plata, Argentina. At Córdoba College of Architecture and Design, Magali is studying "diseño de indumentaria, which means fashion design - and I really like the outcome. Model Elizabeth Ball is doing a great job and she looks georgeous in Magali's designs. By the way: The photos are taken in a Argentine coffee bar called "The Archivo" in Mar del Plata - a brilliant ambience to get nice shots: Excelentes fotografias, me gustan todas!!

Do you like Magali's designs as much as I do?

A world of innocence and unbounded fantasy

2011-05-24T13:02:00.002+02:00

As I am quite stressed out due to my lecture and lab courses at university (at saturday there'll be an exam in cost accounting) I just want to escape somewhere and leave all the accounting records and expense accounts behind me. This beautiful fashion shoots I found, distracted me at least a bit of my test anxiety. They're so imaginative and stunning, I just couldn't deprive them of you. What do you think of the photos? I like!

Colour-blocking is THE TREND in 2011.

Mixing colours is definitively a must have for anyone and it puts you in a good humor. So, of course, I had to post some pieces of ginatricot's new collection for the summer!!

Here are some impressions (old and new ones) by Prada's Minimal-Baroque sunglasses Project for which Miuccia Prada – a purveyor of new and fresh talent – has commissioned eight artists from the world of photography to interpret the new Minimal-Baroque glasses in a pop-comic manner.

Fashion against AIDS by H&M

2011-05-04T12:52:00.001+02:00

I really appreciate H&M's trial to combat AIDS via fashion. Of course, I am not the only one doing that. Celebs like Keri Hilson, Selma Blair or Sky Ferreira are the inspiration for this fashion line. KTY!!

What about you? Do you like the idea "Fashion against AIDS?"

Just drop-dead gorgeous

2011-03-21T18:37:00.002+01:00

Hey gals,
I just came across these wonderful, stylish, colored, upbeat, magnificent (maybe I am spluttering) color props by free people. They announced their new colour line via facebook and I couldn't yet avert my eyes of this summerly articles of clothing. On top, they designed some beautiful accessories, which look fabulous in combination with the garment.

By hook or by crook: I want them. Nevertheless, I think they're quite pricy. The blue Costa Besace bag on the left is prohibitive ($448). But the Coral Cluster Ring is definitely a MUST-HAVE. I posted some "color props" underneath, so what's your favorite?

2011-03-17T11:52:00.000+01:00

Hey Gorgeous, today I present a new product feature by benefit. I stumbled upon it by accident and I don't wanna deprive it from you.

This Februar, benefit cosmetics launched the new bella bamba face powder in a blazing pink. For 28 bucks you get a shimmering 3D watermelon blush, which I really adore.What I quite like about benefits blush is the golden shimmer because you immediatley get a summerly look without being tanned. And the provided brush makes it easy to apply the blush. At daytime, I always wear a soft pink or a apricot nuance to accentuate my cheekbones. Having an all-night party, I normally use a darker bronze tone. What about you? What are your favorite nuances in terms of rouge?

Micky Green at "Keep the beat" by Mango

2011-03-15T15:25:00.000+01:00

We love Micky Green! In case you don’t know who she is, let’s start with the basics. Her 2008 debut album, White T-Shirt, was a huge hit with its catchy blend of pop and soul tunes, and she’s just released her second album,
Honky Tonk.

Here she seems to be channelling something that wouldn’t look out of place in the American Pop Art movement, with bursts of colour, and reminiscent of pin-up girls. We’ve certainly all been won over by this amazing blonde and her positive energy.

Fiona Paxton, a London Jewelry Designer, has always created real gems. Her flashy and opulant designs remind me of jewels "of yesteryear". As Paxton is a globetrotter with heart and soul, she is inspired by so many different cultural influences which flow into her designs. The outcome of this is her F/W collection 2011, which Paxton recently presented at London Fashion Week.

Paxton designed some magnificent necklaces, bracelets and earrings with stylistic elemts which have their seeds both in antiquity and Celticism. She runs riot in combining different materials like opalescent pearls with metal and leather. In doing so, Paxton created some real eyecatchers which pimp every casual outift on an instant.

My favourite is the first golden necklace. What's yours??

Re-See: Dior's Fall/Winter Collection

2011-03-11T13:20:00.003+01:00

Dior's FW collection for 2011 is absolutely amazing. But it shows that the Parisian fashion label definitively came under John Galliano's influence: Quillings, drapery and crochet work with leather are comforts which Dior didn't create in the past. So, thumbs up for the FW collection although I have to say that Dior already created fur-jackets, fur-bags and fur-collars ad nauseam in the past.

2011-03-10T15:27:00.000+01:00

Today, Free People announced their new March 2011 Catalog online. Like always, I was really curious about it. Result: The look is as hippie-like as usual, what is not bad at all. I got a video of Free People's new collection for you, so you can visualize the articles of clothing better. Maybe the sound is a bit too melancholic, but the video shows fp's new lookbook in a fancy way. I like it a lot. What's your impression of the new collection?

I made a screenshot of fp's online shop so that you can imagine their new collection better. Click here for more.

John Galliano fired by Dior

2011-03-02T10:48:00.002+01:00

After John Galliano got suspendend as Dior's Chief Designer, the Brit finally got fired due to his anti-Semitic comments.

Dior decided to sack Galliano with immediate effect. The reason for his decision: Recently a video cropped up, in which drunken Galliano made some anti-Semetic statements in the Parisian Bar "La Perle". This incident already occured last december but it's revealed only now. Moreover, Galliano and curator Geraldine Bloch literally were at loggerheads, while John verbally harassed her with anti-Semitic comments on February 23, 2011. That gives a deep insight, Galliano.

What do you think about his sacking? Is it justified?

Oscars Best Dressed 2011

2011-02-28T15:32:00.004+01:00

Our 10 Favorite Gowns of the Night

Let's get right to it, gals! Want to see our picks for the 10 best dressed women at the 2011 Oscars?

Mila Kunis went for envelope-pushing yet elegant in this lingerie-inspired lavender gown by Elie Saab haute couture. Hot body alert!

She called her Versace dress "tangerine orange" (a major color trend right now!) before the show, but we call Jennifer Hudson's frock smoking hot. Even chicer? She's got purple heels on under that train!

There's a reason she's Gwyneth Paltrow, gals: The Oscar winner knows how to look like a true star on the red carpet, and this metallic Calvin Klein Collection gown really let her true beauty shine through. Louis Vuitton jewels add just enough glam factor.

In more amazing metallics news, Hilary Swank stunned us in a glittering strapless gown by Gucci with a feathered train. Her sculptural hairdo was the perfect way to flaunt those fabulous shoulders.

Can you say flawless? Cate Blanchett always pulls out the big guns for the Oscars, but her structured lilac Givenchy haute couture gown was exceptionally beautiful. Her simple, sleek 'do is the perfect complement.

Reese Witherspoon is all-American red carpet royalty in this Armani Prive gown--it shows off her silhouette perfectly, and the vintage Barbie ponytail is tres chic!

She's only 14, but Hailee Steinfeld has been knocking our socks off on the red carpet. For the biggest red carpet of the year, she went sweet, demure, and age-appropriate in a tulle Marchesa dress. The length is absolutely darling!

Good friends Kate and Laura Mulleavy--otherwise known as Rodarte--whipped up this custom drapey off-the-shoulder maternity dress for Natalie Portman, and she's positively radiant. The rich plum hue and coordinating accessories get an A+.

Stunning actress + fantasy gown = red carpet perfection. Halle Berry knows how to bring it, which is exactly what she did in this frothy strapless Marchesa number.

What better way to make an entrance in a Valentino dress than with the designer himself on your arm? Anne Hathaway's strapless scarlet gown was the first of many wardrobe changes...check back on STF tomorrow for a full recap of the rest!
We're dying to talk Oscar fashion with you, ladies! Who was your best dressed? Who had all of your girlfriends talking? Cast your vote now, leave your comments, and tweet us about your favorites!(via glamour)
